Scary Facts About Microwave Popcorn

Pretty much anything you put into a microwave gets nuked, so to speak. Here's an interesting article written by the The Health Ranger.


Microwave Ovens Destroy Nutritional Content of Your Food

Microwave ovens destroy the nutritional value of your foodby Mike Adams

The rise of widespread nutritional deficiencies in the western world correlates almost perfectly with the introduction of the microwave oven. This is no coincidence. Microwave ovens heat food through a process of creating molecular friction, but this same molecular friction quickly destroys the delicate molecules of vitamins and phytonutrients (plant medicines) naturally found in foods. One study showed that microwaving vegetables destroys up to 97% of the nutritional content (vitamins and other plant-based nutrients that prevent disease, boost immune function and enhance health).

In other words, eating raw broccoli provides you with natural anti-cancer medicine that‘s extremely effective at halting the growth of cancer tumors. But microwaving that broccoli destroys the anti-cancer nutrients, rendering the food "dead" and nutritionally depleted. There‘s even some evidence to suggest that microwaving destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern of chaos in the water found in all foods. In fact, the common term of "nuking" your food is coincidentally appropriate: Using a microwave is a bit like dropping a nuclear bomb on your food, then eating the fallout. (You don‘t actually get radiation from eating microwaved foods, however. But you don‘t get much nutrition, either.)

I eat a lot of popcorn, but never the microwave stuff. The butter flavor is disgusting and makes me feel bad. I cook it in pot and use real butter. It takes less than 5 minutes and tastes a hundred times better. It is several times cheaper as well.
